[00:03.60]Written by：Charles Louvin
[00:07.21]The postman knocked and waited
[00:10.32]For her sweet face to appear
[00:13.47]A face that showed her heart was full of joy
[00:20.00]In the cottage doorway smiling through her tears
[00:25.74]Each time he brought a message from her boy
[00:32.12]Her calloused hands were trembling
[00:35.40]The postman noticed too
[00:38.82]That her sweet and anxious face was white
[00:45.08]Would this be the letter
[00:47.93]That she had waited for
[00:51.04]And would it tell her that he was alright
[01:10.17]I'm sorry said the postman
[01:13.39]I must ask you to sign
[01:16.53]This little book that I have brought along
[01:22.82]You see this letter's registered
[01:26.13]He slowly bowed his head
[01:29.21]And then she knew that there was something wrong
[01:35.76]The address on the corner
[01:38.75]Of this envelope of blue
[01:42.31]Told her that her darling son was dead
[01:48.25]Where Jimmys name and number
[01:51.47]Had always been before
[01:54.61]His captain's name was written there instead
[02:07.54]Dear God they've made my darling's grave
[02:10.78]Thou' knowest of his soul
[02:13.96]She prays a humble prayer to God each night
[02:20.27]Place on his grave a blooming rose
[02:23.62]So all the world can see
[02:26.61]My soldier boy has won his robe of white
